William Pitt calls court-appointed president Bush a terrorist because of his administration's use of public terror warnings to deflect criticism:

“Now, with leaders like Daschle and Gephardt calling for a public investigation into the obvious intelligence failures behind 9/11, we have well-known members of the Bush administration going on national television to terrify the American people so as to avoid any questions. It wasn't enough for Condoleeza Rice to go on CNN's 'Late Edition' to state that the administration was against a public investigation into 9/11, as she did on May 19th. The American people needed to feel the wrath of pure terror from this administration, to ensure that it would get what it wanted– a continued veil of secrecy and the surety that prickly questions would go unasked.

“[...] The same administration that had the 9/11 attacks happen on its watch has fought tooth and nail to keep any investigation into the security failures that led to the attack from happening. Basically, those security failures are still there, intact, deadly to us all. The warnings of impending catastrophe from the likes of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Mueller may prove to be a self-fulfilling prophesy because this administration refuses to take responsible action to address them.”

The Associated Press reports that an agent alleges FBI headquarters blocked pre-9/11 investigation of “20th hijacker”:

“Agent Coleen Rowley, a lawyer in the Minnesota office that arrested Moussaoui last August, divulged in her letter that local agents became so frustrated with FBI headquarters that they sought to break from their chain of command and notify the CIA.

“[...] 'When, in a desperate 11th-hour measure to bypass the FBI HQ roadblock, the Minneapolis division undertook to directly notify the CIA's counterterrorist center, FBI HQ personnel chastised the Minneapolis agents for making the direct notification without their approval,' she wrote in the 13-page letter [...]

“Rowley sent her letter Tuesday to FBI Director Robert Mueller and members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, divulging internal discord within the FBI that is rarely aired in public.”

Um… so what did the CIA do with that information?
